sniper69 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Procedures: A. Using Darwin's Boot Loader 1: Boot windows xp install cd and create a partition and allocate at least 5gb (5,000 mb) or depending on your preference and resources. If there's any existing partition, delete them all until you only see one unpartitioned hard drive, before doing this step. 2: Create the first partition for windows xp installation as mentioned above, and leave the other partition untouched, or leave it unpartitioned. ***The first partition is for windows xp The second partition is for osx The third partition is for all your files to be stored in 3: Proceed with windows xp installation procedures, make sure that It will boot properly after installation. Boot the newly installed Windows XP, and input a volume name for your windows xp partition. 4: After Installation, boot from my created bootcd. a. press enter when " boot: " appears. b. press enter when MY TOOLS appears. c. press enter when PARTITION MAGIC appears. you were looking now at Partition Magic's User Interface. 5: Now, right click the 2nd partition, then click Resize/Move Click on New Size and input at least 6,000mb or more. Click OK Two new partition appears, making your single drive divided in 3 partitions. Now, right-click the 2nd parition and click Create, in Create As dialog choose Primary Partition click Partition Type and choose Unformatted click OK Now, right-click the 3rd partition and click Create, in Create As dialog choose Logical Partition click Partition Type and choose Fat32 ***with this format both your OS will have read/write access click OK Finally, click Apply. ***During this process your computer may seem to hung, but its not. Wait for confirmation, reboot and eject the bootcd. 6: Insert OSX86 install DVD and install OSX When reaching the Select Destination menu, open Disk Utility and format the 2nd partition in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) format, Input your desired Volume Name (ex. My MAC). Then proceed with the installation until finished. 7: After successful installation, restart your system and eject the install dvd, darwin will boot osx and will take you to account creation, etc. thanks for the great tutorial and bootcd. I only had to use the first seven steps in my install to get it working right. I followed your directions and installed xp pro. I installed the acer A150 drivers and the driver I found online for the Broadcom BCM94321MC wireless card. Then I started with step 4 to put two partitions out of the unformatted area on the hard drive. the OS X install used is Iatkos v7 and the bootloader option used is Chameleon. After the OS X install when the computer restarted Chameleon came up and I'm able to choose from XP or Mac. If I don't choose then Mac starts automatically. This is definitely a lot easier to follow than some of the other guides out there. thanks again for posting it. I wonder if a dual boot can be set up on a 1010nr using the 8 gb ssd and a 16gb SD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am trying to use this method to install both operating systems on my RAID drive array. I am using a Highpoint RocketRAID Sata card, with 2 maxtor drives raided together at RAID level 0. During the windows installation, i have to put in a diskette with the drivers for the RAID card on it in order for Windows to recognise the logical drive. Will OSX be able to recognise the drive?? Will i need a driver diskette for OSX as well???? Just curious, i've never installed OSX before but i'd like to! If there is a specific recomended version of OSx86 i should get, let me know. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The darwin boot loader is part of the OSX installation (whichever you are using ideneb etc). If your using iatkos there is the chameleon bootloader instead (I prefer chameleon - but that is just my opinion ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
